You will be responsible for managing daily compliance operations, onboarding customers, monitoring transactions, and ensuring compliance with multiple regulatory frameworks across jurisdictions.

4+ years of experience in compliance, risk, AML, or payments operations, preferably in fintech, payments, or crypto.
